Just for interest's sake I looked at joining a Mastodon instance. There was an application form to fill out which expected comprehensive answers to four questions about myself, my motivation for joining and my interests. I found it surprising but maybe it works for them.
- paulgb 6y agoThe thing about federation is that every instance can have their own criteria for joining. I haven't seen one that requires an application like that, but it doesn't surprise me. But surely if you just want to spin the wheels there are instances that are easier to join.
- stormdennis 6y agoYes thank you. I might do that, that one was the most interesting sounding one see the time.
- kstrauser 6y agoThat’s specific to the instance. Each one can individually choose to have open registration, moderated registration (like the instance where you applied), or invitation-only.
- stormdennis 6y agoThanks for your reply and the information. Did not see it until now.
